What should I watch for while taking ranitidine?

If you need to take an antacid you should take it at least 1 hour before or 1 hour after ranitidine. Ranitidine will not be as effective if taken at the same time as an antacid.

If you get black, tarry stools or vomit up what looks like coffee grounds, call your prescriber or health care professional at once. You may have a bleeding ulcer.
